'''William Forman Waye''' (August 18, 1886 – January 4, 1967), normally referred to simply as '''Forman Waye''',<ref>MacEwan, Paul. ''Miners and steelworkers : labour in Cape Breton''. Toronto: S. Stevens, 1976; pp. 66, 70, 113</ref> was a merchant, [[machinist]] and political figure in [[Nova Scotia]], Canada. He represented [[Cape Breton (provincial electoral district)|Cape Breton County]] in the [[Nova Scotia House of Assembly]] from 1920 to 1925 as an [[Labour candidates and parties in Canada#In Nova Scotia|Independent Labour]] member.<br />
<br />
He was born in [[Sydney Mines|Sydney Mines, Nova Scotia]], the son of William Waye and Mary Ross. Waye married Catherine McDonald. He was [[whip (politics)|whip]] for the [[Progressive Party of Canada|United Farmers]]-Labour coalition which formed the official opposition in the provincial assembly. Waye was defeated when he ran for reelection in 1925.<br />
<br />
His radicalism made it hard for him to get work as a machinist, as he was [[blacklist]]ed by employers. He sold [[tombstones]] and did other odd work, until he was hired in 1938 as a staff worker for the [[Steel Workers Organizing Committee]], on the condition that he leave the [[Communist Party of Canada]] and join the [[Co-operative Commonwealth Federation]].<ref>MacEachern, George (David Frank; Don MacGillivray, eds.)
